Grain marketing in the Knoxville area

The purpose of this study is to analyze the grain situation and related industries and to determine what can be done to develop or improve outlets for grain in the Knoxville trade area. The study deals with the production, disposition, consumption, and demand of grain and grain produce grown in the area and problems of competition from grain shipped in from other areas.

ln showing the extent to which local demands for grain are being met by local production the study will point the way to adjustments which the farmers of the area might profitably make in the production and marketing of grain and the activities which might be undertaken by the grain dealers to develop better markets for locally grown grain.

The study should primarily be of interest to farmers, local grain dealers, extension workers and students not fully informed on some of the more common problems of grain marketing.
